PSA: This deal is dead and buried deep in the ground. It’s
currently $10 you can earn. Which is still better than nothing, but
definitely not as good as it once was. Your choice if you want to do it
still or not

This is one of those win-win-win awesome free money opportunities
that comes up every now and then. They invariably don’t last long, so
if you’d like to make a free $35 with 5 minutes of effort, I suggest you
do the following now. Also – the opportunity isn’t just $35 in 5
minutes – you could theoretically make unlimited money doing this. Read

The Opportunity:Coinbase, one of the largest bitcoin exchange and
digital wallet services, decided they had way too much money (having
raised over millions of Dollar in venture capital, including), and came out with an absurdly generous referral
bonus: $10 for any person who signs up and buys $100 or more worth of
bitcoins.
My free-money spidey senses immediately started tingling. This is
basically just Coinbase giving out an insane amount of money away for
free, since when you buy $100 of bitcoins – you still own $100, just in
bitcoins, and have given Coinbase basically no money at all*. You can
transfer that $100 in bitcoins back into a real $100 at any time, and
withdraw it.

Buying bitcoins for guaranteed fun and profit!

So let’s walk through the math of this deal:

You, as someone who has never used Coinbase before, sign up through my referral link:
and buy $101 in bitcoins (important note: remember to buy $101, since
they charge a 1% transaction fee, so you need to spend $101 to get $100
in bitcoins – see image above).

You’ve paid a total of $101: $100 is still yours, in the form of bitcoin, and $1 was a transaction fee paid to Coinbase.

Coinbase then pays me $10 in bitcoins as a referral bonus for introducing you to the wonderful world of bitcoins.

At this point, you can keep your $110 in bitcoins either still in
bitcoins, or cash them out for real money again. I personally keep
about $300 in bitcoins and expect to keep adding more to that, since I
have a lot of optimism in the future of bitcoin and think they’re
probably a lot cheaper now than they someday will be when bitcoin is a
lot more useful, but you can literally just cash out and pocket your
~$10+ in earnings immediately.

Want to make unlimited free money? Now that you have your own
Coinbase account, you’re welcome to take this whole strategy and send it
to all your friends with your own referral link, and get them signed on
board too.
